Then, there’s San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, who’s poised to rack up over 1.5 total bases against the Oakland Athletics. With a strong history against Ross Stripling and Oakland’s shaky pitching, Yaz is set to deliver.

Dive into our detailed analysis and get ready to place your bets.

Two Best MLB Parlay Picks for July 31

1. Dodgers SP Clayton Kershaw Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-122)

Clayton Kershaw, the crafty veteran with more tricks up his sleeve than a magician at a kid’s birthday party, is ready to face off against the San Diego Padres. Fresh off his season debut, where he racked up six strikeouts like a seasoned pro (because, well, he is), Kershaw is looking to dazzle us once again.

Now, let’s talk numbers. Sure, the Padres are known for avoiding strikeouts like they’re dodging telemarketers’ calls, boasting the second-lowest K rate in the league. But here’s the thing: Kershaw is not just any pitcher. He’s a Picasso of the pitching mound, painting the corners with his fastball and bending minds with his curveball.

Additionally, the current Padres roster is hitting just .259/.308/.437 against Kershaw all-time.

Now, he might not be the guy he once was. After all, I can’t remember a line this low for Kershaw’s strikeout total. But we can use the fact that he is being undervalued to our advantage.

In his first start, Kershaw threw 72 pitches in four innings. With that in mind, we can expect him to pitch at least four to five innings tonight. More innings mean more opportunities to rack up those sweet, sweet strikeouts.

Picture it: Kershaw, with his signature windup and steely gaze, sending Padres hitters back to the dugout shaking their heads like it was 2007 all over again.

MLB Betting on Kershaw to go OVER 3.5 strikeouts(-124)? It’s like finding an onion ring in your order of fries – an unexpected delight.

2. Giants OF Mike Yastrzemski Over 1.5 Total Bases from Hits (+139)

Let’s start with the basics. Yastrzemski had been tearing it up lately, riding a six-game hitting streak before taking a brief pause on Tuesday when we went 0-3. He had two multi-hit games during that time and saw his average rise from .238 to .249. He also hit two triples, which are great for cashing total base props.

Now, let’s talk matchups. Yastrzemski is up against Ross Stripling, and let me tell you, Yaz has been treating Stripling like his personal batting practice pitcher. In just five at-bats against him, Yastrzemski is hitting .400 with a home run and two RBIs. That’s not just good – that’s “I-own-you” good.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Mike Yastrzemski has a 132 wRC+ since April 18 and leads all right fielders in DRS by a wide margin

But wait, there’s more. Oakland’s pitching staff has been as reliable as a paper umbrella in a hurricane. With its bullpen struggling to keep it together, Yastrzemski has a prime opportunity to feast on subpar pitching. Whether it’s a double down the line, a triple to the gap or another homer, the extra-base hits are definitely on the table.

So, betting on Yastrzemski to go OVER 1.5 total bases from hits? Yeah, I like it. Might be my favorite MLB pick today.
